jd 900hc engine problem

[marshfarms1963]

I have a 1989 john deere 900hc. We pulled the motor apart to rebuild it. when we got it apart we noticed the cylinder head was cracked on number 2 and 3 cylinders. I am curious to know if anyone knows if another john deere or yanmar cylinder head will interchange with this one since its so rare? The model numer on the motor is 3t80j s.

How about a part AM877960 from John Deere?
